It is reported in scripture that the prophets of Baal called him from morning to dawn. Yet, they got no answer. Why did he not answer because he use to answer them with fire before that day. |

Because Baal is a lesser god. In spirituality there's hierarchy and order, a lesser god will not challenge a higher principality to a contest. 1 Like |

What happened to baal is what happened to all the demons of Africa when the white people brought the light of the Bible to us. All of them were ordered to stand down! Benin, Ijebu, Igbo, Idoma, Kibaku, Tiv, Yoruba gods etc., God ordered all of them to stand down because enlightenment had come and it was time to liberate the people from darkness 2 Likes 1 Share |

Cause at that point in time the isrealites had just moved from polytheism to henotheism and were well on their way to establishing monotheism. So the writers had to embellish and paint this narrative of a superior Yahweh(who was initially a warrior god). That's why you see Yahweh competing with all this other gods. But by the time monotheism was established there wasn't need for embellishment or competitive narratives, all of it stopped. Caveat here been there's a lot of historical, political and social cultural context cut out from this. 1 Like |

MrPresident1:Africans left their true God for gods. They disobeyed and suffered the curses of disobedience. Christianity and Islam are part of that curse. They are the foreign gods of Wood (cross) - Christianity and Stone (kaaba) - Islam = Deutronomy 28:36&64. They are part of the curse on Africans. Africa is still in darkness so no enlightment. Africa were first before history and the mother of all nations. The whites came here and bow their knees. Your religions are part of the curses we suffer. Our light come soon and your religious will end. We commited adultery with foreign gods of Chrislam wood & stone Jer 3:9 |

bobestman: All those human sacrifices that Ologbosere made for Overami so that British will not enter Benin, you think they weren't potent? The demons they sacrificed to were all ordered to stand down because enlightenment had come All those human sacrifices that Ijebu put inside the river so that British will not come over, you think they weren't potent?

Baal was an ancient god Most of those dieties wants to keep humans trapped by serving them in exchange for power and everything material But the real creator didn't plan that for humans He put his spirit in us because he wants us to communicate with him directly not through any old diety or dieties What happened there was an example of one with the spirit of God (Elijah) he understood that all he needed was to speak with faith and the creator God will answer him 1 Like 1 Share |

MrPresident1:This is how a blind man who knows nothing about his religion reacts when he hears the truth the first time. Your bible is African history and we are the ppl of the book. African refused to read the book and follow the true God. The white men hijacked the book and corrupted to what you read today. Only a true African blood whose ancestors are of the lineage of the ppl of book can tell you the true stories in the book - Isaiah 44:7. I school you even with the bible but you only come up with stories you don't know. What the Oba did is part of what brought the curses (religions) on us |

Beautifulday: Baal can't answer when the God whose name is established in that geographical location is standing there with Elijah! Note that all other gods has been given a goat when the God of Abraham came with the Israelites to that place {Leviticus 16:10} from that day none of those gods had the right to operate in that territory anymore! 1 Like 1 Share |

You ppl talk as if you know the true God. As if your gods of christianity and islam are the true God. The name of the person their is ELijah. Africans are the first ppl on earth and the true God is in their land. Igbo call him ELE and their is a place called "Ugwu Ele" that was before Adam in Enugu state. Yorubas say Eledumare. Hebrews say El Shemayim. In names, many names in your bible begin or end with EL. Many African names has EL. Many names of places has EL. We have ELectron, ELectromagnetism. The name exist in all things in nature. The footprints of whatever you call God must exist in all things and in the names of his ppl. Show me names of your false gods jehovah, yahweh, jesus and how they exist in all things in nature? Your false gods came as a result of the curse on Africans to punish them till they wake up and seek their true God. The begining and end of your religions are in Deu 28. Brainwashed and blind children, you don't know the true God. We African will tell you - Isaiah 44:7 |

Beautifulday: After the confusion at the tower of Babel {Genesis 11:1-9} fallen angels came down to claim territories for themselves and they were influencing people against themselves to fight over the territories as worshipers of these fallen angels. The true God was patient until they've all settled down that was when He called one of their worshipers named Abraham to introduce Himself and promised this man a lot. God didn't drag territories with the fallen angels but took Abraham to a place where there aren't inhabitants and asked him to settle there. After the Israelites returned from Egypt they met people on the land God promised Abraham so they had to send them away or destroy them because they're all worshipers of fallen angels. Before they settled on that land God told His people to provide a sacrifice for those demons to leave the territory! Leviticus 16:10 That's why none of those gods (demons) has any right to operate in the land of Canaan not until the Israelites themselves began inviting the demons back by worshiping them! 1 Like |

Where did you read that he answered them with fire before then. He is lifeless. Baal has no life. It was not Baal that was working out the nonesense, it's the works of if demons. The moment you put a stone in your house and begin to worship it, demons come in to start manipulating you. Now before that day the demons must have been manifesting magic or fake miracles but in this very day they will not be able to do anything because the environment contains the presence of the most high God. At very critical situation demons or the lifeless gods will fail.. This is the reason christians must always allow the God presence around them . They must always dwell in the secret place of the most high God - lifeless gods or demons can't manipulate those situations. I hope this helps. You can watch our film to see the mystery of the love of God for us. Watch THE PROSTITUTE film this weekend. A strict and morally upright man has to marry a prostitute contrary to societal expectations. Friends and relatives discouraged him but he was adamant. It was a big STRUGGLE!! It was a big FIGHT!!! What did he do? Did he abandon his plan? Find out why people are rushing to watch this movie. Watch it now and subscribe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4zAEvN2VnI?si=LD3mqR5ttUmqq7-t |

JobZoneNews: Of course Baal can answer them! Remember that it was a challenge if the false prophets of Baal haven't performed such tricks before they wouldn't have accepted such a challenge. The magicians in Egypt performed a number of signs until God stopped their demons from supporting them! Exodus 8:1-19 1 Like 1 Share |

bobestman: How do Muslims worship the Kaaba? |
Re: Why Did Baal Not Answer With Fire by bobestman(m): 9:54am On Mar 17 |
AntiChristian:It is symbolic. Wood and stone are major symbols of the religions that will come on Africans for worshipping gods. They are foreign to Africa and never brought the true God. They came as a result of the curse on Africans to fulfill it on them. African just need to leave those gods, obey the commands of their one and true God and leave those foreign religions of wood and stone. Then shall they reap the blessings of Deutronomy 28 and become world power again |

Re: Why Did Baal Not Answer With Fire by bobestman(m): 1:32pm On Mar 17 |
AntiChristian:Christians also should be asking how they worship the cross. They are just symbols of the foreign religions that will bring their gods to Africa. The prophesy is simple and clear |

Re: Why Did Baal Not Answer With Fire by AntiChristian: 5:06pm On Mar 18 |
bobestman: Some Christians believed the person of the cross died for them so they worship the cross! Some Christians so hang the cross on them so they believe it is divine and can save them! Churches uses the cross as symbol. I have seen the image of Jesus crucified and Mary in our Catholic Church then! And many will come to genuflect to them asking them to pray for them or bless them! Which Muslim hold similar beliefs as regard the Kaaba? Which Mosque have you seen the Kaaba placed therein? |
Re: Why Did Baal Not Answer With Fire by bobestman(m): 5:43pm On Mar 18 |
AntiChristian:You are right about christians but not all do that. The prophesy was only fortelling the symbols that will be used to identify those religions in the future. It didn't say anything about how they will use it. The fact is that we can identify them by the symbols. Stone also represents Judaism. Wailing wall, stoning in Islam and all those things |
